  • Kakao Games’ sharp share-price decline has complicated the calculations of financial investors who reinvested in the company after selling stakes in Kakao VX last year.
  • The investors are weighing whether to exercise tag-along rights during Kakao’s potential sale of control of Kakao Games, particularly if the proposed price falls below their investment price.

Financial investors who sold stakes in Kakao VX last year and put the money into Kakao Games are now facing a difficult calculation as the game company’s share price plunges.

The investors are considering whether to exercise their tag-along rights during a possible sale of Kakao Games’ management control by Kakao. The issue has become more pressing because the price proposed in that process fell below the price at which they invested.

For the investors, the decision turns on whether joining a sale would be preferable to holding onto an investment that has lost value. The sharp decline in Kakao Games shares has made what initially appeared to be a straightforward reinvestment considerably more complicated.
